Preschool Curriculum

The Kalamazoo Christian School Association's traditional preschool program is designed to stimulate the social, emotional, physical, intellectual and spiritual development and growth of each child in a loving, caring environment.

Learning ActivitiesBible includes basic Biblical stories and concepts appropriate for preschool children. During devotions, children learn to praise God with songs of worship and are encouraged to share their faith.

God's world is explored through field trips, photographs, discussions, scientific experiments and personal observation. Children learn that God cares for and is involved in His creation.

Creativity and imagination are encouraged through sand and water play, modeling, play dough, block building, painting, drawing, story acting and various craft projects.

Music is enjoyed through singing, rhythm activities and listening.

Physical development occurs through group play, outdoor play, small and large motor skill development activities, and health and safety units.

Readiness activities include the development of skills and understanding in visual and auditory perception, language, shapes, colors, numbers, table and group games, and motor activities.

KCSA preschools are not mandatory co-op classrooms. KCSA preschool classrooms highly encourage parents to work in the classroom as a volunteer, according to a schedule set up with the classroom teacher.

Just like our K-12 programs, KCSA preschools offer a Christ-centered education. Every child has a special place in God's plan, and our preschool students learn that God loves and cares for them. We also provide many experiences in which children are offered the opportunity to express their love for God.

All KCSA preschool classrooms are specially equipped to meet the needs of young children. Our preschools are licensed by the Michigan Department of Social Services and operate under the authority of the Kalamazoo Christian School Association. KCSA preschool teachers are professional educators, fully certified by the State of Michigan.
